If it is placed in /etc/defaults/ it should be called
/etc/defaults/etc/.sgreprc (ie, it should be called the same as the
actual file will be) as all that should happen is, if the file
(or a link) doesn't exist minus the /etc/defaults prefix, copy it :)

The easiest postinstall script is to copy
/etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh[.done] as this is all that
script does :)

However the use of /etc/defaults/ is entirely optional and at the
package maintainers whim :)
